Life Skills
Led by multiple therapists, the Life Skills Program is designed to promote daily independence. Students work on basic skills such as getting dressed, laundry, cooking, cleaning, gardening, chores, caring for a pet, planning, and organization. Our staff gives clear, incremental hands-on instruction and provides students the opportunity to practice daily living skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Goals
Our Life Skills Program is designed to help students learn to be as independent as possible in hopes of them getting a job and living alone with minimal supports, if possible. The goals of our Life Skills Program include:
To teach children basic life skills.
To encourage independence and self-awareness.
To teach individual and community safety skills.
To increase socialization amongst peers.
To increase self-esteem and confidence which will lead to more happiness in all areas of life.
